SEA-KIT X-Class USV

Description

The X-Class USV's large payload capacity, long range and proven, over-the-horizon endurance capability means that multiple missions can be undertaken in a solo capacity or as part of a larger fleet of crewed or uncrewed vessels. Data can be transmitted via broadband link or satellite following on-board processing and compression, or stored on-board for future retrieval.

The design also provides a versatile, robust platform for naval defence and maritime security operations. The X-Class can undertake missions in a standalone capacity or as a force multiplier for anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, maritime intelligence surveillance/reconnaissance, logistics support, maritime and border security, amphibious operations, oceanographic and hydrographic survey.

SEA-KIT USVs are controlled using SEA-KIT’s proprietary G-SAVI control and surveillance platform, which provides safe and secure operation from remote control centres.

The SEA-KIT X class design holds Unmanned Marine Systems certification from Lloyd’s Register.
